The back-up warning system assists
the driver during backward move-
ment of the vehicle by chiming if any
object is sensed within a distance of
120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver. The sens-
ing range and objects detectable by
the back sensors are limited.
Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as
you would in a vehicle without a
back-up warning system.
Operation of the back-up warn-
ing system
Operating condition
This system will activate when
backing up with the ignition switch
ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 5 km/h (3 mph), the system
may not be activated correctly.
The sensing distance while the back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 120 cm (47
in.) at the rear bumper center area,
60 cm (23.5 in.) at the rear bumper
both side area.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
BACK-UP WARNING SYSTEM

Sensors
WARNING- Back-up
Warning System
Never rely solely on the Back-up
Warning system. Always per-
form a visual inspection to make
sure the vehicle is clear of all
obstructions before moving the
vehicle in any direction. Stop
immediately if you are aware of
a child anywhere near your vehi-
cle. Some objects may not be
detected by the sensors, due to
the object's size or material.
